Although the title makes this sound like a frothy, fun-filled romp, Lane's latest Regency-this time one of Signet's new Super Regencies-is anything but light. This tale of a chance meeting, an impulsive marriage, and the dangers-and delights-that follow is filled with greed, murder, and a fair amount of violence. An abused, pursued, but resourceful heiress, a disreputable rake who must make peace with his past, and some truly evil villains drive Lane's fast-paced, sexy romance, which mixes the adventurous action of a historical with the style and essence of a traditional Regency. Lane (Kindred Spirits) has written a number of exceptionally well-done Regency romances and lives in the San Francisco area. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
